I don't think there's much distinction between surveillance and media in general. Better media means better surveillance. Cams are everywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do think we need more cameras. We have to stay ahead of the terrorists, and I do know in New York, the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, which is based on cameras, the outstanding work that results from that.
I think cameras ought to be everywhere the reporters are allowed to go. I think, furthermore, reporters and cameras ought to be everywhere that the Constitution says the public can go.
A security cam is one small part of a much larger universe of cams. The much larger effect, socially, politically and economically, is going to come from a much larger trend.
As smartphones have allowed us to have our computers, emails, social media feeds, and a full surveillance system in our pockets at all times, stories of the law enforcement's unease with that have been popping up in the press. And of course, the ones that become viral videos aren't exactly flattering for law enforcement.
The concept of surveillance is ingrained in our beings. God was the original surveillance camera.
The surveillance of ordinary people is far greater than I would have imagined and far greater than the American public has been able to debate.
The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.
I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
Surveillance changes history. We know this through examples of corrupt presidents like Nixon.
We do not take away the powers of surveillance. We do not take away the right and the power of the government to go after those who would do us wrong.
